We stayed at Riu Ocho Rios is 2008, we purchased the Apple 5 star Jamaica deal agiain and this is where we ended up again. We were generally satisfied then and were again this time. The breakfasts are very good all the expected choices. Lunches also were good, the jerk chicken was fine and they had a cook make paninis or wraps while you waited. Dinner though was a little bit of a disapointment. I seemed to remember more choices for dinner then , even a lobster night. The specialty restaurants were inconsistent, one night I had a excellent steak and when we managed to return there later in the week, it was not very good. The reservations for the restaurants were not as difficult to obtain as some have claimed. Rooms were clean and the safes and the door locks worked properly, be careful although you can accidentally trigger deadbolt and not be able to reenter room. Drinks were not watered down and service was very fast. We do tip maids, waiters and bartnders, don't know if that is why we get such good service but I noticed many others do not and I saw noone waiting very long. Snorkeled right of the beach over the grassy areas and did see some fish, used the kayaks and that was fine also. Overall the weather was fantastic, the pools warm, service excellent and the food just a little less than last time.

Had a great time at the ClubHotel Riu. Quick check-in and warm welcome with Kerri Ann, Verona from the Entertainment staff was amazing, and Tasha Marie made breakfast enjoyable. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Make reservations and try the different resturants for dinner. Everyone on staff was friendly and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Long bus ride from the airport, but if you didn't take the ride you'd miss a great experience at this hotel.

Room Tip: Deluxe wing is quiet but a further distance from resturaunts.

Our first all inclusive family vacation. Middle aged couple with two teen aged kids. Kids loved the large selection of food. No one went hungry. The beach with its natural shade provided by plenty of coconut trees was a pleasure to the senses. We were all in agreement that a return trip is in order. Just make sure you stay at least 7 days. DON'T EVER SIT AT THE FRONT OF THE PLANE. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Room Tip: Ocean view rooms are closer to the beach and restaurants.

Just got back, we were there from 1-27-13 to 2-06-13. we love it!!!! Love it how the resort its all open, so you get to see the ocean from almost everywhere Great Staff!! That jerk chicken that they serve at the beach is horrible!!! We took a cab to a place very close cal Scottiesh and ate a real jerk chicken (its was delicious and cheap). The resort is huge, so be prepare to walk. The bar at the lobby and at the pool, had the best staff!!! the food was very good!! The best a restaurant as the gourmet, we ate in all of them. Didn't like too much the Chinese or the stake house, The Asian was ok, had better. The trip from the airport was 1 1/2 hour. We did the water tubing and the duns falls with the party boat, was great both.

We travelled to this resort from Jan 27,2013- February 6, 2103 on vacation with family members. My overall impression of this resort was excellent! The service was great, freindly staff, great rooms (sometimes smelt a little musty), food in the buffet was very good in comparison to some resorts we have visited.

We had private transportation arranged to our hotel and back to the airport upon return by a local taxi driver by the name of " Byron of Bryon's Taxi Service He was recommended to us by my sister's travel agent and he was fabulous. One of the kindest, down to earth, person who'll ever meet. We also booked a couple of private excursions with him for rafting and Mystic Mountain as well as a private tour through Ocho Rios and the rain forest and explored some interesting places along the way- not your typical bus tour!!!! If you're going down to Jamaica I would recommended you get in touch with him, he travels the island. His cell number is 876-387-1019 and his E-mail is byrontaxiservice@hotmail.com

We did upgrade to the "Gold" side from the "Red side ( the color of band on your wrist) when we arrived. We paid an additional $220 for the upgrades to a slighter larger rooms and access to Free Internet and more a la carte restaurants.

We were most displeased to find that most of the time, the folks with the "Red bands" were on our side of the resort and taking all the pool and beach chairs while people with the upgraded " Gold" band had to wait to get a seat. You might as well save yourself some money and stay with the Red, if they are allowed to partake, without paying the price.

Room Tip: Some rooms have a larger balcony than others- be sure to ask for one with larger balcony and the jun...

This is an awesome resort. We were there from 2-3-13 to 2-10-13. The only thing we found not to our liking was the noise level around the stage area. They would have entertainment at night, but also have wedding receptions only a couple hundred feet from the stage and the two would compete with the loudness of music. Depending on your seating location, it was very hard to enjoy one or the other. The food was enjoyable and plentiful. The drinks did not seem to be watered down. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. All the staff were very polite especially Terry Ann our waitress. She was great for breakfast & lunch. For dinner the man to see was James Bond our waiter. He did a great job. Our poolside waitress was Keneisha (spelling?) and she was very attentive. These are the kind of people who make your trip very enjoyable. We would return to this resort in a heartbeat.
